This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED20X65, the same code under the new prefix. The ACE replacement is a current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class, with a matching short body and the same mounting-accessory family, so it fits the same envelope. Confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before ordering.
Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X65
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X65 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 65mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED20X65 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X65
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD20X65 delivers 117.8 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. Its 20 mm bore and 65 mm stroke suit tight jig and gantry positions where the short ISO 21287-style body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
Construction is a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and M5x08 ports - actually M5x0.8 - running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED20X65, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED20X65 (ISO 21287) carries the same bore/stroke/force class; confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before installation. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 24 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X65 Is Used
Fixture clamping with two-sided output
A 65 mm stroke through-rod clamps a machined housing in a drilling jig from the front while the rear rod trips a limit flag, using 117.8 N of equal force on both strokes at 0.5 MPa.
Push-pull transfer slide
On a small electronics assembly slide, the double rod gives symmetric mounting and resists rotation as the carriage shuttles a connector tray 65 mm between two nest positions at 30-500 mm/s.
Gantry pick station with switch feedback
In a compact gantry head unit, ordering the -S magnet option lets CMSE or DMSE switches report end positions in the 65 mm stroke, keeping the short body inside the guard envelope.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X65 with the ACED20X65
At 117.8 N per side (0.5 MPa), the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm bore at 75.4 N and the 25 mm bore at 206.2 N - step up if your tooling needs more grip force. The 65 mm stroke is within the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. If your fixture needs position feedback, order the -S variant to enable the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; this plain ACPD20X65 code has no magnet fitted. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts onto the standard face. Since ACPD is discontinued, plan the swap to ACED20X65 and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED20X65
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X65 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both on the rod-side area. The maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 24.0 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current-production direct is the ACED20X65 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same 20 mm bore, 65 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, and remember the magnet is the optional -S code, not a default fitment.
